Great advice, Jason! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I am going to try Pastelmat. I think it will resolve some issues I have with fine details. Keep ‘em coming, my friend. Your work is phenominal! Can not wait to see what you will show us next.

Absolutely beautiful. Your painting looks more real than the photograph!

[@jennyb-aeternabitart7436]

Thank you for showing parts of your Patreon videos on here. It's really helpful to have mini-tutorials like this one available (rather than a sped-up version of the whole painting), and I can find videos that are specific to what I need to know. 😁👍

[@Ms.Mel.Creates]

This is so great! Thanks!

[@anitaorsini8910]

Your videos are always Well done and informative, detailed but without including unnecessary info. You are a superb artist with much knowledge to share. Thank you for your eagerness to do so.

[@jennyb-aeternabitart7436]

I was thinking about this the other day. This channel is brilliant, and there are a couple of others I follow that are too.
All the channels that I have found most helpful have been artists for many years and work with more than one medium. And most of them either started on here when they were starting with a new medium, or they have been teaching art for years already. Jason is in both of those categories. 👍

[@hazelboaler7359]

Looks like I will have to try Pastel mat, and pan pastels. This looks amazing.

[@ruthballardart]

Excellent, as usual!

Fabulous work! 🧡

[@MelanieSchauerHerzensmalerei]

Very nice Jason. I have the same problem with my channel. People don't understand that it takes a while to learn everything.
People ask for the exact numbers and want to paint my picture 1: 1. People have to concentrate more on the reference and recognize the colors.

[@dorothygladsjo3510]

Oh my goodness, I really learned a lot with this gem of a video! Thank you Jason:)

[@animalpaintingde]

Wonderful Jason. And I have the same problem. The artists want to know from me which color I use and best with the exact color number. So the artist don't learn really to paint and recognize the correct color.

[@sarahkile1740]

I like the idea of underpainting the blacks with gouache. If I don't have gouache, would acrylic paint work as well? Also, I find that when I transfer my drawing to the PastelMat, it is easy to leave grooves in the PastelMat, but using less pressure doesn't always adequately transfer the drawing. How do you avoid this? Do you use a particular type of pen?

[@jennyb-aeternabitart7436]

To avoid getting pressure marks on the pastelmat, I used trial and error. The way that works for me is using a fineliner, because I press too hard with anything else (I think it's something to do with not being able to see the line that's being produced).
With the underpainting in something other than gouache, it needs to be a thin enough mix for the tooth to still pick up the pastel.
Jason achieves this by watering down the gouache slightly, but not so much that it dries less-black.
If you use something else, then you would need to find your own mix - and to make sure that it's something that the pastel will cling to. Pastelmat is really good for this, because it can take alcohol-based, oil-based and water-based mediums equally well.
I have used inktense, watercolour pencil, watercolour paint, oil pastel, and pan pastel with freezer spray myself - all worked well.
I haven't tried with acrylic. If pastel will go over it, then there is no reason that it wouldn't work if you can get it dark enough without filling up the tooth. 🤗

[@hereticartist574]

I love Jason’s works, but I often wonder how he misses seeing all the blues and greens (in the white fur) and the purples and blues (in the black areas on the left ear and back spots). I sometimes wonder if he, like my son and husband, suffers from partial colorblindness??

[@wildlifeartjm]

its simple really - the video camera does not pick up the colours exactly the same on a printout as it does on the pastel surface. also I am often not trying to completely duplicate a photo - I don't understand why more people don't take that in to consideration to be honest. Just because I have the reference photo there does not mean that I don't want to do something different with my art.

[@hereticartist574]

@@wildlifeartjm I did not mean to cause offense. I haven’t seen all your videos. Of the 30 or 40 I’ve seen, they appear to be dedicated to helping viewers learn how to get as close as possible to the reference. It sounds like you’re saying you also stress interpretive styles, but, since I haven’t seen all your videos, I wasn’t aware of that. I’ve only ever seen ones where you’re staying close to the reference (ex: lots of videos where you fold up the reference so you can lay it beside your drawing or where you mention using color pickers and urge viewers to locate all the hidden colors.) I’m not trying to argue, just explaining why it wasn’t obvious to me that you were taking artistic liberties with the colors. My apologies. In other situations where bounced lights (blues and greens) seemed absent from the white fur, I can accept that it must be the photography not registering your use of those colors. Your yellows, rusts, and reds always seem spot-on, which is why it seemed to correspond with the common type of colorblindness my husband, my son and my brother experience. It’s been such a feature of our lives for so long, that I may have come across as bringing it up too matter-of-factly, thus would appear insensitive to someone coming from outside my lived experience. In actuality, I was hoping you or someone reading this could explain what was causing this phenomenon. Thank you for explaining. NOTE: For anyone reading this who is interested in checking their color vision acuity or if you suspect partial colorblindness in members of your family (especially heritable among males) there are online puzzles available where you can determine any deficiencies. If you do uncover some issues with color perception, Enchroma glasses are a great way to reclaim some of these lost colors! 😉👍

[@pauladoms3572]

Beautiful! I am a beginner and would like to know how you start drawing this on your pastel mat? Thank you.

[@jennyb-aeternabitart7436]

The method that Jason uses is:
Print out the photo at the size he wants the final picture to be.
Find the final paper and lay it down.
Put a piece of transfer paper on top of this, with the graphite/chalk/charcoal side to the final paper (it can be confusing the first time you use it!).
Put the photo over this, being careful to not squash the transfer paper down randomly.
Once he has the photo in the correct place relative to the final paper (which way up, straight in the middle, off to one side...), tape or magnet it down so it doesn't move. This is definitely a step to NOT SKIP (voice of experience unfortunately).
Using a sharp pencil/pen/biro/other line maker, trace the important parts of the photo.
Remove everything except the final paper, which should now have a line drawing on.
Experience will tell you exactly what you need to be transferred.
I watched Jason and a few others' videos on here and paused the videos to look at their lineart in more detail. From that, I started to make my own lineart - and refined what I transfer based on what I have used and what I wish I had had to use.
Personally I use a two-step tracing method.
I trace onto tracing paper using a piece of perspex and my computer monitor laid down horizontally.
Then I transfer the image from the tracing paper as above. I found a fineliner was the only thing I could use that didn't leave dents in the surface, but different people find different things more/less useable.
I realise you asked this a year ago, but hopefully this will help someone else with getting their image down!
Happy art making! 😊

[@toddlefebre6383]

Instead of gouache for the black markings , could you use black pastel pencil? Then use a fixative like spectra fix to lock down the black?

[@toddlefebre6383]

anyone?

[@carolekinnear3221]

@@toddlefebre6383 Sounds good to me. I am not sure if you even need the fixative when using Pastel Mat

[@MichelleMoreusArt]

You can just use your pastel black pencils but when you use gouache on pastelmat paper or board it doesn't muddy up your other colors and you can still layer over the gouache because the paper has a great tooth.

[@staceywilder6828]

A LOT of great tips! Thank you. What printer do you have that will print larger photos?

[@wildlifeartjm]

i just use a small epson printer and tape A4 print outs together , you don't need an expensive printer

@@wildlifeartjm Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

[@lisa4471]

Will i need pastel sticks if i work in a smaller pastelmat size (18x24) or can i use just my pastel pencils?

[@wildlifeartjm]

you can use just pencils, they just wear out quicker as they dont have that much pastel inside them compared to a stick

[@lisa4471]

@@wildlifeartjm thank you for your answer :)❤

[@joetkerjb]

Do you trace from picture first?

[@cherryj]

Can you use water colours like the gouache?

[@MichelleMoreusArt]

You can do gouache backgrounds or stripes or spots on animals as an underpainting on pastelmat paper or board . I hope this helps.
